A simple Editor with Syntax Highlighting, MIDI recording, importing and playing functionality and a preview function with click-to-note (Left Mouseclick), insert-decorations-through Entry and Preview (left-click in Entry or longpress in Preview) and play-from-note (right click in Preview) feature for the ABC notation format (http://abcnotation.com/) written with perl/pEFL.
Please note that you have to install abcm2ps and abcmidi/midi2abc seperately and to adjust the abcm2ps path in the Edit->Settings dialog. Binaries for abcm2ps and abcmidi/midi2abc can be found at http://abcplus.sourceforge.net/. Abc2svg is used for preview function and already included.
Under Linux you can install the application with:
perl ./Makefile.PL
